Supreme Court Allows Trump to Deny and Deport Asylum-Seekers

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration can begin denying asylum-seekers entry into the U.S. if they came to the country by passing through a third country and did not first seek asylum there. The ruling overturns a federal court injunction first issued in July that put a halt to a policy that targets Central American migrants—predominantly from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador—who arrive at the southern border without having sought asylum in Mexico, or any third country, first.
